414.6 is what percent of 4000 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 4000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 4000, so we can write it down as 100%=4000.
4. We know, that x% equals 414.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=414.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4000
2) x%=414.6
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=4000/414.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 414.6 is what percent of 4000

100%/x%=4000/414.6
(100/x)*x=(4000/414.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.647853352629*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.647853352629) to get x
100/9.647853352629=x
10.365=x
x=10.365

now we have:
414.6 is 10.365% of 4000
